This recipe because not only is tasty, but you can also use it in so many different ways. It’s based on an Italian classic salad but it’s so much more than that – eat it as a salad, in a wrap or as a sandwich filling, or as part of a “bowl” mixed with rice or quinoa. Plus, it’s packed with protein and fiber, which gives it amazing staying power. It only takes a few minutes to throw together and will keep in the fridge for 2-3 days, which makes it an easy meal prep lunch option.
